Checkgate Product Roadmap
This document outlines the vision and future development priorities for Checkgate. Our goal is to provide the most robust, local-first feature management platform for developers.
🟢 Phase 1: Foundation & Stability (Completed)
- [x] Rust-Core Engine: Fast, local evaluation logic.
- [x] Multi-SDK Support: Node.js, Browser (WASM), React Native (JSI), and Flutter (FFI).
- [x] Consolidated Distribution: Official "All-in-One" Docker image with Dashboard and Server.
- [x] Automated CI/CD: Hardened cross-platform release pipelines.
🟡 Phase 2: Observability & Analytics (Current Focus)
Goal: Provide developers with real-time feedback on how their flags are performing.
- Impression Tracking: Asynchronous reporting of evaluation events from SDKs to the server.
- Exposure Dashboards: Visualize which users are being exposed to specific variants.
- A/B Testing Beta: Basic statistical comparison between two variants based on custom event goals.
- Evaluation Stream: A live, searchable log of evaluations in the dashboard for debugging.
🔵 Phase 3: Advanced Targeting & DX
Goal: Make Checkgate the most powerful tool in a developer's arsenal.
- Percentage Rollouts: Sticky, hash-based bucketing for gradual feature releases.
- User Segmentation: Reusable audience definitions (e.g., "Internal Employees", "Power Users").
- Multi-Variant Flags: Support for JSON, String, and Integer variants instead of just Booleans.
- VS Code Extension: Inline flag status, targeting rules, and direct links to the dashboard from your editor.
- Type-Safe Schema: CLI tool to generate TypeScript/Dart/Rust types from your flag definitions.
🟣 Phase 4: Enterprise Governance & Scale
Goal: Enable large teams to move fast without breaking things.
- Change Requests: Pull-request style workflow for flag rule changes with required approvals.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Fine-grained permissions for environments and projects.
- Audit Logs: Comprehensive history of "Who changed What and When."
- Edge Side Evaluation: Official integration with Cloudflare Workers and Fly.io for global low-latency.
- Terraform/OpenTofu Provider: Manage your entire feature flag infrastructure as code.
- Kubernetes Operator: Native orchestration for large-scale self-hosted deployments.
